“Hammer Carpets are very pleased to support the reconnection event. We feel sure after several months of working from home, that it is time to start reconnecting with industry friends and colleagues. Our contract sector is usually a vibrant, creative, and exciting sector to be a part of and I think we have all missed this. Whilst we need to keep our feet on the ground in these difficult times, now is the time to start getting proactive again. We are looking forward to more positive times ahead.”
